Those with medical expenses and medical debts are increasingly facing critical financial problems and sometimes facing trade-offs among immediate life necessities. Thirty-nine % of these with bill complications or debts say they possess used up all of their savings to pay out their healthcare bills; 29 % are unable to pay for basic necessities like food, heat, or rent; and 30 % took on credit card debt. Twenty-four % of adults under age 65 with medical personal debt owe $4,000 or more and 12 % owe $8,000 or even more in unpaid medical expenditures. In a fresh Commonwealth Fund issue brief which accompanies the report, Seeing Crimson: The Growing Issue of Medical Personal debt and Bills, the authors describe that uninsured and underinsured adults are even more at risk of having medical bill complications and medical debts than those with adequate insurance coverage.
